Mugshot IPA features an arresting lineup of Warrior, chinook, cascade and sterling hops and a balanced blend of malt flavors that finish nice and dry. Forward hop bitterness lingers on without a overwhelming the palate.

Many thanks to DING for the chance to taste this- one of his fav local breweries. This is #BOTG 74.

Poured from bottle into DFH snifter. Pours a nice orange/amber color, really nice creamy white head, nice retention. After popping this, a pungent wave of dank hops hit my nose. Nice smelling IPA. After getting it into a glass, along with the grassy hops, I get some really nice malt sweetness behind it. A good smelling and looking IPA so far. Taste- Really nice caramel/tropical fruit sweetness, nice light carbonation, and appropriate bitterness on the end. This is super well balanced, and so drinkable. Love the mouthfeel on this one too- pretty light/medium bodied. This is a really solid IPA- so drinkable, nicely balanced, and really nice malt backbone and good hop character. This is way better than the reviews describe. Thanks again DING! (851 characters)

Nose: Hop presence lends to flowers, well balanced suggesting a blend of @ least three hops.

Mouth: not over aggressive, well rounded. Lightly soapy, fruity, spicy, it plays very, very well.

This is my favorite of the jailhouse brews, these guys know that great brewers aren't born, their crafted.This is also probably my favorite 'southern ipa' damn tasty an would be seen by the case in my home.... (498 characters)

22 oz bottle into a couple of tulip glasses. Thanks go to HopDerek for generously sharing this one.

Pours a hazed copper, with 2-3 fingers of frothy eggshell-white head. This retains with a lot of rich creaminess, drenching the sides of the glass with some huge sticking lacing. The aroma is fresh smelling with grass and citrus and a touch of herbal leafiness. Sweet grains and some fleshy fruit give this a light juicy tang in the nose. Some more dankness seems to emerge as this warms up.

The taste has a zesty citric bitterness and a touch of sharp pine to it, which is well balanced by flat toasted grains, a splash of sweet caramel, and some softer fruity character. Bitter citrus peel lingers in the finish with some dryness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, being creamy and smooth on top, but then prickling the tongue a little more as it moves out into the mouth. Alcohol is very nicely hid and that 7% feels about perfect here.

This was definitely a bit more of a subtle and restrained version of the style and I didn't mind one bit, as this focused more on those fresh hop flavors and less on the aggressive bitterness. This was quite thirst-quenching. I'd love to try it on draft. (1,198 characters)

The beer pours a deep unfiltered burnt orange color into the glass at the brewery. The head was decent; one finger in height and the smell of the beer was deep and restrained earthy hops with a slight sweet edge. As this beer (as of now) is not dry hopped the aroma is lacking but the smell there is pleasing. Very balanced.

The taste is more promising than the smell. The hops and malt profile are very well balanced but the hop bill is more apparent upon tasting. (Duh) The hop flavor is herbal bitter at first but really opens up with sweet fruit flavor like orange and citrus, along with a slightly resinous flavor as well. The malt is robust but balanced and this beer leaves me thinking of DFH's 60 minutes with is taste and balanced, although the nose is still lacking. The mouth feel is what is should be, certainly not watery or overly heavy, well done for me. This brew at this stage is full of subtlety and balanced and taste great. After talking to Glenn at the brewery about the beer, his plans to eventually dry hop are exciting as the only thing this beer lacked to me was a strong nose and the hop kick upon impact. That said this is still very good. (1,183 characters)

The pour is golden to light copper with a decent but short-lived head. Reasonably good clarity.

The aroma is very mellow which is how I like my IPA's really with its earthy hop and fruity character. Not explosive by any stretch of the imagination but pleasing on the senses.

The body is around medium but very smooth.

The taste is just as low profile as the aroma suggests with a mellow hop character, a decent caramel note, and an astringent bitterness at the finish. Lingers quickly but fades but it is memorable. (576 characters)
